Hey folks,
I recently got asked a few questions about a set of bongo's I connected to my pc to play Taiko.
so I decided to make a (hopefully) helpful tutorial.
This is just a small project you won't be breaking any records with this
so first the stuff you'll need:
- a wiiU Game Cube controller adapter (can be bought online) (other adapters probably also work but may not work with this tutorial (becuase of drivers and stuff))
- a set of DK Bongo's (duh)
- a program called VJoy (Link: HERE)
- drivers for the Game Cube controller adapter (Link: HERE)
- a program called glovepie (Link: HERE)
got all that?
alright then let's get started!!
Step 1 Setting up the Controller adapter
download the driver from the site.
there are installation instructions on that site as well. I Highly advise you follow those Very closely. because if you do this wrong you might end up screwing up something on your pc.
now that we have the game cube adapter hooked up lets go to the next step
Step 2 Setting up VJoy
firstly download and install VJoy. the installation instructions are once again on the site. but there is a lot less of a chance to mess up.
once you have VJoy installed go look for a program called "Configure VJoy"
the standard settings might work already but just to be sure let's configure VJoy for a bit.
(image for the setup in the spoiler box below)
after we have set up VJoy we can get to work on the last step.
Step 3 insert the code into glovepie
Lastly download golvepie. the link is on their site and you don't have to install anything.
just open up glovepie and paste this code into it
(code in spoilerbox)
you may have to change some stuff around in order to make it run propperly
you probbably have to change the number of the joystick in the top 4 lines to make glovepie look for the right input device.
and if you would like to change the key inputs to your personal Taiko keybinds just change the letter behind the "keyboard." statement.
the standard keys are "D", "F", "J", "K".
Now plug in your adapter and bongo's and start the driver.
click run on glovepie and you are all set.
happy bongo'ing
